The three ring circus came to town tonight. For the first half, all we saw were the clowns, as the Warriors and Heat were tied at 45 with 30 seconds left before intermission. A 3-pointer by one of the guys wearing the funny nose named James Jones gave Miami a lead they would never give back.
That’s because at the half, the clowns went into a phone booth, and Superman came out of one. Lebron J...

The Miami Heat won their first big road game of the season on Wednesday night, defeating the Utah Jazz 111-98. It was their sixth win in a row and improved the team's overall record to 15-8. This game was probably the best Miami has looked all season, with the possible exception of the first contest with Orlando. As far as playing on the road, this game was by far the best the He...

Utah doesn't stay down for long, their 7 game win streak just ended in a loss to Dallas and they responded by beating Memphis to get back on track. The Jazz won 94-85, as usual Deron Williams did the heavy lifting. Williams finished with 27 points, 4 boards, 8 dimes and 1 steal! Williams also had help in the form of CJ Miles, Miles forced Rudy Gay into an 8 of 22 shooting performance and also...

The ovation was quite pronounced this time around for returning forward Brian Scalabrine. Compared to the last time these teams met, which required an overtime period for a decision, the Celtics had this one well in hand by the time the closing minutes had arrived. With such a comfortable lead, the Boston faithful were able to turn their attention to where it really mattered, SCal. With sever...

I almost never say this, but thank goodness the Knicks aren't on tonight. I mean, any NBA fans who won't be glued to TNT tonight for Cavs/Heat. Game of the year so far, for sure. I'll be fascinated to see the kind of ratings this game gets. I think we're looking at historical television numbers in terms of regular season NBA on cable, especially because it's the only game being played during th...

That is what LeBron James will have to deal with. The game tonight will be a mental test for the Miami Heat as they travel to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers for the first time since signing LeBron, a.k.a. The Messiah”, back in July. For James himself, no doubt that this game will be toughest test he has ever faced in terms of a hostile environment. Cleveland, the city whe...

This weekend has been a perfect example of the Heat's season so far. On Friday night they survived a late scare at home and went on to beat a bad Philadelphia team 99-90. Then on Saturday night they traveled to Dallas to take on the Mavericks, who many including myself believe are a real contender in the Western Conference. An awful third quarter led to a sound defeat;106-95. T...

The Miami Heat have lost back-to-back games against inferior teams. They lost a close game on Saturday night to the Memphis Grizzlies. Last night against the Indiana Pacers, Miami was blown out at home. Both of these were very bad losses, but neither compares to losing forward Udonis Haslem to a torn foot tendon during that Memphis game.
Size and physical play down low h...

So much for trading Chris Bosh. Say goodbye to all the criticism of the Heat 3. At least for today. Miami could do no wrong on Wednesday night, thoroughly trouncing the Phoenix Suns, 123-96, and it wasn't even that close. The Heat, not the Suns had tallied 100 points by the end of the third quarter. Chris Bosh had 35 of those points. This is the Miami team everyone expected...

The Miami Heat can't beat the Boston Celtics. Period. It doesn't matter if it's the regular season or the playoffs. It doesn't matter if they have LeBron James or not. Over the last two seasons the Celtics are 9-1 against Miami. Gamblers would call that a lock, not just a trend. Fans of other teams and critics everywhere are smiling. Apparently, this team is more ordina...

Peyton Hillis deserves to go to the Pro Bowl.
It’s may not be so bold to predict, it’s may not be so emphatic to debate, but one constant remains that everyone can agree on: it’s absolutely necessary.
Listen, the 3-5 Browns may have taken down Goliath (twice) in the Saints and the Patriots, but that’s not enough for this, still, last-place organization to feel respected by the outside 3...
